Taking a largely philosophical tone after Manchester United’s first pre-season friendly of the summer, head coach Ruben Amorim highlighted the lack of fluency between debutant Matheus Cunha and club captain Bruno Fernandes as an area of improvement for the squad going forward.

Ruben Amorim believes Matheus Cunha showed what Manchester United “need” as the Red Devils were held to a 0-0 draw in their pre-season opener against Leeds.

Matheus Cunha was fouled a couple of times on his first United start and one or two other challenges arguably warranted a stoppage. Cunha got plenty of attention at Wolves and markers will doubtless be tighter and nastier now he is United's No.10.
